  1. Hey I've made a post about this in the past, feel free to check it out! Good luck 😀
  2. Advice for 1st semester nursing students.

    Good luck and
  3. As you begin your first semester of nursing school, it can be TERRIFYING and OVERWHELMING with information thrown at you. I am a third-semester nursing student and tutor first and second-semester...
  4. So as a third semester nursing student, myself and many of my fellow colleagues often wonder the same thing. Why is it that when we go to clinical, about 75% of the nurses act snobby and like it's...
  5. Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    That's odd. Mine shows up as
  6. Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    I understand that skills do not encompass thinking as a nurse. I never claimed to think like a nurse. I was just answering a question regarding my experience. There's a lot that goes into thinking...
  7. Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    My apologies, I didn't realize that it did, the only thing I see is "years of experience"
  8. Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    I've worked the past 4 years as a tech. 2 years M/S and 2 years Trauma ICU in a Level 1 trauma center. We do Foley insertions, lab draws (with a butterfly or a VAMP if they have an A-line), trach...

    Thanks! I will check your post out and hopefully I will be able to take some good tips away from
  10. Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    I have, and I disagree. I don't see anywhere in this post where I've been disrespectful. What I do see is, a lot of people being disrespectful towards me, and towards nursing students in general. I...
  11. Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    I don't expect anything to be handed to me. I work hard, and actually have never had anything handed to me. And, I am open to advice as well as criticism, I look at both as learning
  12. Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    No, no lol. I didn't fall off the planet. It has been difficult trying to respond to everyone's comments is all and I've been studying.
  13. Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    Is it necessary to be so scathing? And to answer your question "You truly think that you know better than this pt's nurse where her attention should be?", no I don't. But to assume I'm not looking at...
  14. Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    Thanks for the response. I appreciate your honesty as well as everyone else's. I have realized that I shouldn't be quick to blame the nurse, and as many of you have stated it's the instructor's...
  15. Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    How is it that I have a superiority complex as a student? I don't believe that I am better than anyone, just as I don't believe a nurse is any better than I am. I believe in equality. Also, I can't...
  16. Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    Excuse me, but I'm not sure where I have been out of tone at all. Furthermore, I am far from being an idiot. You don't know me at all, and I've done nothing but ask a simple question. I apologize you...
  17. Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    Sorry, it's difficult to respond to each comment. But my instructor, well she's not very reliable. She tells us to be at clinical at 0600 and we get there at that time, and she strolls in around 0630...
  18. Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    I agree, and see where that could be a problem. But it's not my fault or my classmates fault that we get paired with them, after all we don't get to choose and we're just trying to learn a thing or...
  19. Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    Thanks for the response, I try not to let it get to me but sometimes it's hard because I want what's best for my patient. I hope to be a nurse that will be a good resource for students. Congrats and...
  20. Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    I'm not questioning the nurse in front of the patient, just simply sharing what I have found and know to be abnormalities. S3 if new and not previously diagnosed may indicate ventricular dysfunction...
  21. Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    I appreciate your response and honesty. I guess it's hard for me to understand because I love to teach people and be a mentor others.
  22. Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    My school goes to preplan the night before and gets to the hospital an hour before shift change to discuss our patient with the instructor and then we go get report with the
  23. Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    I understand during heavy assignments it's not likely for a nurse to explain everything to me. But when I am in the room for example, and the nurse comes in and changes the IV rate or gives some...
  24. Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    I was not trying to be rude, I'm just asking a question that a lot of nursing students wonder. It's not that I'm trying to be disrespectful, this is honestly just the vibe that I myself and classmates...
  25. Nurse forced to work as a CNA

    Perhaps you shouldn't be a nurse if you have no interest in physical labor. What you are implying here is, "I'm lazy and perform no care for my patients besides pass their medications". I don't care...
